Urban myths black people still believe

[Noriega]

Yep its a government job.. most folks who get those jobs are doing well and get to retire with a pension.

My grandpa did 35 years at the post office. Passed in 2010.

Grandma still eating off his $2700 a month pension, full healthcare benefits. He put my mom through college, bought two properties and traveled all over when he retired.

If that ain’t “set for life” I don’t know what is @GigoloGeoff

Deindustrialization came before crack

That is exactly what I'm saying.
People who lived through the crack epidemic have literally fallen for a bizarre media propaganda-style campaign where they completely forget the conditions around them and wholeheartedly accept the "crack did this" narrative.

Why were there so many unemployed people that started selling crack in the first place?
How were police able to literally destroy homes and drag off the people inside and all of the cash?
Why did the worst of the crack epidemic fall exactly along previously red-lined areas?

People were already doing cocaine at a high rate, yet only the Black communities were "wrecked" meanwhile crack cocaine usage soared in White communities.

All this breh. My auntie started at the post office at 18. Worked until she was 48 and retired. Been retired for 30 from the post office and never worked again.

She gets a fat ass pension and gets to chill everyday. She goes on yearly trips and cruises and been doing it since her late 40s.

So you right brotha them folks be set compared to many other industries.

People starting today still get great pay and end up with pensions like that? I see job postings for the post office and the pay is borderline disrespectful

This one has validity actually while not necessarily bones:






I can tell when we are due for heavy rain as I'll get a migraine which will begin to dissipate as it starts raining I can even smell it

Me too.. I can smell it.. and I look up and a few miles out u see them clouds forming

I worked in so many kitchens that believed if somebody sweeps your feet and you don't spit on the broom your going to jail tomorrow. I thought it was only a new orelans thing but it was the same in Alabama too

When I worked at a Mickey D’s in South Mississippi, my manager believed this. She was an older black lady.

Anyone touched her with that broom, she’d grab it and spit down on the floor. shyt was nasty af

Postal workers do get paid. But many of the ones I know are the dudes and girls who party every weekend and buy nice clothes.

So yes they get paid if they say they don’t they are fronting.

People don't use the mail like they used to. They probably got paid a grip bc they worked the hell out of them

That Pitbulls lock their jaws when they bite someone. I can't believe the number of people that still swear on this stupid shyt.

People also don't know that instead of beating the dog to get him to let go all you have to do is stick something in their butthole and they'll let go immediately. I hate seeing video where they're smacking them with sticks and the dog seems unfazed and keeps mauling the victim

They still get pensions and are paid pretty well. Its a government job so the pension is there and the pay is good.

As with all government jobs you have to catch them when there are openings. Some years ago the post office was hiring big time because they had a lot of people retiring. But now they were able to reload with a bunch of younger employees so they don't have that big of a void of retiring employees....which means less openings.

I never said 1500 murders

And I disagree , it was way more stressful in the 90s.

Politically black people were legit rocked to sleep. Loved bill Clinton not because of his policies, but because he smoked weed and played a sax. At least now the validity of the democratic party is being questioned, in the 90s it was almost sin to vote anything but democratic and it was an underlining sentiment that that was the party for black people. Back politicians just showed up to a church sung a few negro spirituals and ate on the black vote. Now the democratic party is being challenged. Not to mention 72% single black homes comes about because of welfare reform done by Clinton, 3 strikes and your out comes by because of Clinton, loitering laws, stop and frisk, mandatory minimums comes about politically in the 90s all that we are still feeling the ramification of today.

Open racism has always been here, every black person can tell you about areas in the city, burbs you could not go to or be attacked by whites. Social media has just exposed what was known locally. Driving while black was a huge problem in the 90s

Gang violence a given, much better now then before. I can ride a bus and not be attacked at every stop with guys jumping on the bus and stealing on people for fun. I can go to places in Chicago and not have 100 dudes on a corner throwing up rakes, treys or fives all in my car, nobody checks you on the color you wear anymore, I dont have to worry about getting chased because of the way my hat is turned anymore. That's all 90s shyt. And just for clarity , chicago gets a bad rap for 500 murders annually (btw those are not all black folks as a 1/3 of Chicago is Hispanic) in the 90s murders were nearly triple that. Just for a side not in the 70s it was a time it got to over 1100 murders.

As for as the psuedo, you may have a point there but we got to remember delbert Blair , bobby hermit, Phil valentine, dr York, etc were all heavy in the conscience community in the 90s. And they would teach for HOURS a bunch of psuedo nonsense. So I don't know how different that is.

You’ll go to jail for driving with you cars interior lights on for long periods of time

My folks are originally from the Delta so I’ve heard them all. The strangest one was if you had a cold, they would make us go outside and play in the first spring shower. No bs, we could be sick as a dog but after doing it we would be feeling better and no signs of a cold after we did it.
